 A 210-metre long hanging bridge with breadth of 1.5 metre was inaugrated on April 2015 to implore tourism opportunities in this area. The bridge connects Thumboormuzhi with eco-village Ezhattumukham. Thumboormuzhi butterfly garden is another attaction of this place. The park is on the banks of the Chalakkudy river. About 148 species of Butterflies can be seen in the park. It is a natural habitat of butterflies.


You can also enjoy spending time in chilling waters at the Ezhattumukham side of the bridge. You should pay separate entry fees for these two tourist spots.
